I have the same V2220 black "Walmart version" of this (my first sealer) and after sealing over 30 different items, I can say that I absolutely LOVE this machine! I've had no problems sealing any type of bag or canister and it's perfect every time. Caution: do not try to vacuum a pizza on "dry mode" or it will suck all the air out of it, crust and all! It's possible that it would work better on "moist mode", though I haven't had the chance to test it yet. You can, however, stop the sealing at any time when you see it's crushing everything by pressing cancel, and just manually press the "seal" button to seal it.
The canister accesorry is simply amazing! You can vacuum seal potato chips, cakes, cookies, sandwiches, and other "crushable items" and store them much longer without having to worry about them getting stale and old after a week, and you can re-seal/vacuum them over and over again after re-opening the container/canister. This one's even better than the bags!
Now, if there's only a pizza canister...hmmm.
NOTE: if the machine doesn't appear to be working, it's because you didn't turn the LOCK all the way. Check that first before complaining! :-)

We loved our old foodsaver, and used it constantly for several years until it gave up the ghost, and we replaced it with this one.
Those who are familiar with the Foodsaver and are thinking of getting this one should be prepared for disappointment. This machine's seal strip is now much further away from the vacuum chamber, meaning you lose a full 1.5 to 2 inches of bag at the top each time you seal. It used to be much less than this.
Also, this machine is infuratingly picky about the top of the bag being precisely placed in the vacuum chamber, and if you're using a used bag that's been through the dishwasher (as they say you can), you can just throw it away -- these bags have never sealed a second time.
Overall, we're sorry we bought it, and pine away for the old one.

Keep your food fresh 3-5 times longer, prevent freezer burn and save both time and money as you waste less food! Just how does it work? Well, a powerful piston pump removes the air from the patented storage bags and custom containers, then seals them tight. FoodSaver bags have 3 layers of material and special channels so that all the air is suctioned out and can't get trapped in pockets. The bag's outer layer of nylon keeps air from re-entering and spoiling your food. This machine is easy to use and you're certain to find it is a great way to maximize your food's freshness as well as helping your prepare meals ahead, pack for trips and so on.

FoodSaver Smart Seal Vacuum Sealer V3825 Review

FoodSaver Smart Seal Vacuum Sealer V3825
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this unit, and I am very satisfied with its performance. On the plus side, the unit works automatically and puts a very good seal on the package. It has more control over the vacuum, and the canister hose is now built into the unit. On the con side, the owners manual leaves much to be desired. I would recommend that you briefly read the quick start guide, then go right to the website and watch the videos. I could not get the sealer to work until I watched the video... then it was very easy, and it works great every time.
If your used to the old food saver vacuum units, then this one takes a bit getting used to, because its automatic. The bags feed in the side of the unit, but you have to learn how to feed in the bag! Once it's fed in the machine, then a clamp comes down automatically and does the vacuum or seal (depending on the setting you use), but you have to wait till it's completely done and stopped to remove the bag. If your a volume packager, this is NOT the unit for you, as it takes a bit longer than the older units and you will likely get fustrated. If your like me... and seal when I have leftovers, open cheese, or freezing... this works well, but it is not as fast as the older flip top sealers. I do like the bag holder features, as this has been an issue with me from the beginning.
After reading all the comments on the Internet, I was not sure if I should invest in this unit... but I decided to try it anyway, and am VERY HAPPY with the sealer. The negatives are running 50 /50 on the net, but most people complain about the bag feed. Look at the video, take some time to learn (15 minutes), and then it's easy. If you don't want to read directions and learn... then buy something else.

I also was excited to replace my old one with this one. The bag sensor is rediculous. You waste ALOT of bags. It will only seal a inch and a half from edge unlike my old one where you could seal right up top the edge. The sensor went out in 2 weeks. When the sensor did work it took forever. Sometimes it would vacuum and other times it would leave air in the bag and sealed it up. Unless you left 3 or 4 inches on the end of your bag it was impossible to reseal the bag as it was too short. Very disappointed. Don't waste your money.

By keeping air out and sealing freshness in, this home vacuum-sealing system eliminates freezer burn and keeps foods fresh and delicious up to five times longer than conventional storage methods. The countertop appliance not only keeps food fresh longer, it also helps save money--no more having to throw away freezer-burned meat, moldy produce, or forgotten leftovers. Equipped with SmartSeal technology and automatic bag sensing, the unit ensures easy hands-free operation and no more guesswork--simply insert a bag and it will automatically vacuum-seal it. Choose from two vacuum speeds, two sealing levels (great for moist or dry foods), or marinade mode for marinating meat, chicken, or fish in minutes instead of hours. In addition, canister mode achieves the best vacuum seal on canisters and accessories, and for vacuum-packaging delicate foods, the unit's CrushFree Instant Seal function immediately stops the vacuum process to prevent crushing. Other highlights include progress lights, auto liquid detection, an integrated bag opener, built-in bag-roll storage with a cutter, and an easy-to-clean anti-bacterial drip tray. A variety of accessories come included: an 11-inch-by-10-foot FoodSaver roll for making custom-size bags, three quart-size FoodSaver bags, and two gallon-size FoodSaver bags. With a sleek, upright design that takes up minimal counter space, the vacuum sealer measures approximately 16 by 5-1/5 by 9-1/2 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

FoodSaver Pro III Vacuum Sealing Kit, White Review

FoodSaver Pro III Vacuum Sealing Kit, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This review focuses on the significance of the differences I found between the Pro III model, and a less expensive FoodSaver model I used for about a year and half. The features and uses of the FoodSaver are left for other reviewers. I find the FoodSaver to be a very useful kitchen appliance.
The FoodSaver Pro III model is the second FoodSaver machine I have used. I upgraded from the Model 1075, even though the machine I had was still working fine. I did not know whether the upgrade would be worthwhile, given the cost, but am pleased to report that I found the additional features of the Pro III to be well worth the much greater cost. And I liked the older machine quite a bit.
The principal benefits I have found of the Pro III over the Model 1075 are:
1.Pro III has a built-in roll holder and cutter, and storage of the hose under the lid, which saves space on the counter (on the other hand, the unit is a few inches longer and little wider).
2.Pro III does not get hot nearly so quickly, so it can be used more continuously. When the Model 1075 got too hot, it would not vacuum effectively resulting in wasted storage bags, and the need to wait longer between using the unit.
3.Pro III is significantly quieter. The Model 1075 is much noisier, particularly in the sealing stage.
4.Pro III is easier to start (it starts by pushing a button instead of pushing down on the top of the unit).
5.Pro III has a removable drip tray (this was added to other new models, and is very convenient).
6.Pro III has a sleeker more attractive appearance.
7.Pro III has a setting for a higher level of vacuuming.
The botttom line is that if you upgrade from a lesser model, I think you will be pleased with the Pro III.

You'd really hope that a product like this would "just work." It seemed simple enough to start - line up the circles, close and let go. Yet in my first 10 attempts I only got it to work maybe 3 times. I was getting pretty annoyed by this point, so I talked with their support and found out all the things I was doing wrong. Basically to get it to work correctly I needed to put the bag smooth-side up, horizontally-oriented (I tried the corner circle a few times by putting the bag in diagonally - which apparently didn't cover a hole that it needs to to trigger the vacuum), watch for wrinkles near the air hole that might impede the suction (if there are some, pull them straight).
Now that I know what I'm doing I'm actually pretty happy with it! It's very compact, the ziploc-style bags are heavy-duty and reusable, and the vacuum seals are holding well. Overall, I'm giving it four stars because although it really is a great product, there are too many opportunities for users to make mistakes.

FoodSaver Vac 300 Vacuum Sealing Kit Review

FoodSaver Vac 300 Vacuum Sealing Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Excellent product! I've had a Tilia FoodSaver Vac for about 9 years (I asked for it for my birthday) and have never had a problem with it. If the person who said that one corner didn't seal will check the rubber on the lid, it may have slid to one side and isn't making contact with the bag when trying to seal it. This would make it not seal completely. No one has offered hints to make using the Tilia FoodSaver Vac more economical or practical so here are some suggestions: (1) When making a bag, if the meat(as an example) is a steak 8 inches long, make the bag at least 12 inches long. The reason for this is that the bags can be washed and reused over and over until they're too small to use and still seal.
(2) After sealing the bag, there is about an inch of waste bag material on the end you just sealed so take a felt tip marker and write on that end, what it is, the weight, and the date. When you open the bag to use the "meat", cut off the end you wrote on, wash the bag, reuse it and write on the new end when you seal it again. (3) For sanitary purposes even though I wash the bag, when I reuse it for meat, I wrap the meat in plastic wrap before putting it in the bag. (4) If you want to put liquid in a bag for sealing, put the liquid in a zip lock bag and freeze it and when it's frozen, take the contents out of the zip lock and put it in a Tilia FoodSaver Vac bag and seal it as you normally would. If you try to seal a liquid in the bag unfrozen, the vac will pull the liquid into the motor and ruin it. I hope this helps some of you.
P.S. To thaw the meat I run HOT water in the sink and immerse the bag and leave it to thaw quickly. Thinner meats like chops or some steaks thawing will take about 15 minutes and naturally thicker ones take longer. I check by trying to bend the meat (still in the bag of course). If it's totally flexible it's thawed. If you want to thaw meat that's not in a Vac Bag just take a gallon zip lock type bag, put the meat in it and start submerging the bag. Zip the bag closed all but one corner which is kept above the water line and as you submerge the bag the water pushes the air out of the bag right up through that corner. Carefully lower the bag to the zip line and seal it. Now you have a vacuumed bag. If you don't have a vac machine and want to freeze something, do the zip thing in cold water, dry the bag and put it in the freezer now you have a cheap vacuumed, sealed bag and your food will last longer with the air removed. I've been doing this for years and have never ruined meat, ever. It beats leaving food on the counter to thaw for hours or in microwave to partially cook and get tough.

So, it works. I wanted to replace a old Reynolds battery powered sealer and was to cheap to buy the real thing. It pulls a good vacuum and will properly evacuate a bag. But I have found it can take a lot of messing around to get it to work. Opening and cleaning the bag zip is very common. So it takes much longer than it should to seal up a few things. I believe most of the problem is caused by the bags themself however and it does good on containers the first time. I have some Reynolds bags that work much better than their bags.

Ideal for cooking in bulk, preserving leftovers, or deep-freezing cuts of beef, pork, or poultry, this handy vacuum-sealing system makes it easy to keep food fresh for longer, reducing the chance of freezer burn and helping to eliminate wasted food. Compact enough to leave out on the counter, the slim, sleek-looking appliance features a powerful vacuum, which offers just as much strength as those found in the full-size FoodSaver appliances, and it works with FoodSaver Vacuum Zipper Bags and FoodSaver Meal Containers. To use, simply place food in the bag and zipper it closed or in the container and secure with the lid. Pull the retractable vacuum nozzle out of the unit and place it over the green circle on the bag and press the green "power" button. For the container, attach the included adaptor onto the vacuum nozzle, place over the gray valve on the lid, and press the "power" button. In both scenarios, the vacuum will stop automatically once all the air has been removed, sealing in freshness and flavor. For added convenience, the vacuum nozzle's reservoir catches overflow liquids and cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher. Quart-size vacuum zipper bags come included, as well as a dishwasher-safe and microwave-save FoodSaver meal container (vent lid before heating). About the same size as a cookbook, the vacuum-sealing system measures approximately 2-1/2 by 6 by 7 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

My roommates & I bought one of these to make frozen dinners and divide up various game.

I own a FoodSaver Vacuum machine and these bags work well with it. This variety pack has a nice selection of bags at a reasonable price. I use my sealer for a lot of things, one of which is re-packaging freeze-dried backpacking food. The original packaging usually has quite a bit of air in the pouch and takes up extra room in the pack. By using a one quart vacuum bag, this is solved and the food can be cooked in and eaten out of the bag.

VacMaster Storage Bags use the latest in vacuum technology to keep foods fresh up to five times longer. Our unique bag design maximizes bag suction during the vacuum process, decreasing machine stress. Typical embossed-channel vacuum bags tend to flatten over time, minimizing the channel for air to escape, which leads to an incomplete vacuum process. Our bags work harder so your machine doesn't have to.

Owned for a couple weeks now. It's worked very well. Does a great job sealing, and vacuum packing works wonders for holding flavor while storing food. A fantastic surprise to this machine is that you can use it to pretty much seal any plastic bags, which i didn't know. I thought it was only for vacuum packing in the foodsaver bags, but you can use the sealer on cereal bags, potato chip bags, and even the plastic bags that bread comes in. Had i known that, i wouldn't have pondered the decision for whether this was really something i would use enough to justify the purchase. I've been using it for something everyday.

I love this appliance and use it many times in a day.

I seal all of my packages of cereal, bread, chips, brown sugar etc. I vacuum seal and freeze almost all of my left overs, buy in bulk and vacuum and freeze, use the lid sealer for my mason jars, it is one of my favorite appliances in the kitchen that I could not do without.

(More customer reviews)
My mom loves her flat model, and so I asked for a Foodsaver for Christmas. My folks got me this upright model, which I only opened up to use for the first time today. I am familiar with the Foodsaver, I have used my mom's, and I am the type of person who pores through the user manuals when setting up a new appliance. First of all, there was no user manual really - just a quickstart guide. It is inadequate, especially in terms of troubleshooting. Like the other reviewers here before me, I found inserting the bags to be a huge hassle - it is hard to get the plastic to trip the plastic "baffles" inside to tell the machine to start vacuuming and/or sealing, and once the process starts I found that the "seal" button would often start flashing, indicating an error.
So I started trying different things... pressing "seal" when the machine indicated the vacuum was at maximum, instead of letting the appliance decide when to seal the bag (the guide provided in fact invites you to do this if you wish), trying to reset the appliance by either going power on/off or unplugging the thing entirely, seeing what effect using or not using "cancel" has when the seal light started blinking its error message.
Still frustrating and still took me way too long to accomplish what I wanted to, so I went to the Internet to see if there was a more complete guide. No dice. So I called customer support at the number provided on the machine, finally getting someone after 15 minutes of waiting. *NOT* worth the wait! Sherice (?) kept stopping me, and kept seeming to be confused about what I was having trouble with, even after I could see that she needed me to slowly tell her step by step what I had tried so that she could respond step by step.
We didn't get far before she stopped the whole discussion (she really didn't seem to want or be able to listen to me) to give me a very condescending speech about inconsistent usage and how I would be unable to successfully use the appliance and she would be unable to help me figure out what was going wrong until I made consistent use of the machine. I was very taken aback, as was my husband (I had the phone on speaker).
Okay - different tactic and different topic. I mentioned that I thought it would be useful if I could have access to a more thorough user manual rather than just a quickstart guide, and that I had tried to find something on the Internet (at the Foodsaver website and generally) before I called in. Apparently this was the cue for some more warm-voiced, almost baby-talking condescension. Again. "You don't *need* a user manual, that's what you have the phone number for!" ...along with an unstoppable explanation (I tried to stop her!) of where the number was - ridiculous to be telling me when I had called it to talk to someone!
At this point I couldn't believe that I had not succumbed even to raising my voice - exasperating! I had to pause to take this in, and then I told her that it was unlikely that I would be calling in as it took 15 minutes of waiting just to connect with a live person this time around - that the wait time confirmed for me that I would rather have a more detailed manual. She cranked up the vocal sunshine to assure me that I wouldn't *have* to call very often, implying that Foodsaver was such a good product and the customer service phoneline was so helpful that I would swiftly get all the help I needed and then never be at loose ends with my appliance again. All this while being *unable (unwilling?) to help me*.
Some dead air space ensued while I shook my head to uncross my eyes and my husband scooped his jaw up off the floor. Stopping her before she could launch into another odd little speech, I told her that I had found the conversation very frustrating and so I was going to end the call right there.
Ow.

I originally was going to purchase a FoodSaver model with similar features (FoodSaver V2440 Advanced Design), but found this Rival model for about 40% less.
Even though this one is less expensive, I recommend others buy the FoodSaver for three reasons: 1.) The Rival model does not have an "instant seal" option. In other words, if you go to store anything soft (baked goods, etc.) with the Rival, it will crush / flatten the contents of the bag before sealing is complete. The Food Saver allows you to suck out the air and seal the bag before the contents get squished. 2.) If you go to Kmart or Target and check out both models in person, you will quickly see that the Rival looks and feels cheaply made in comparison to the FoodSaver. The FoodSaver costs more because it is a higher quality product. 3.) Our first Rival Seal-A-Meal failed within the first year. Rival's customer service is a farce. Two emails and one phone call have yet to be returned. I ended up having Amazon replace the product. I wish I would have taken the opportunity to upgrade to the FoodSaver (FoodSaver V2440 Advanced Design). When this one goes on the fritz, and I know it will, I will treat myself by not buying a Rival model again.

I purchased the precursor to this 3 years ago and am on machine number 3 from ARY Inc. The first machine never worked. They sent me a refurbished machine to replace the brand new one, which I did not know until that one had to be replaced. The second had a "wiring problem" that made it impossible to adjust the sealing time. At that point, I requested a brand new machine or a refund of MSRP. ARY Inc. refused to do that and instead sent me another refurbished machine which will only vaccuum and seal if you hold the top down while the machine is running. If I spend my own money AGAIN to ship this one back to them all I have to look forward to is another refurbished model. ARY Inc. is not worth doing business with.

Seal-A-Meal VS107 Vacuum Food Sealer Review

This vacuum sealer is amazing. Honestly it does take a few times of practicing to get it working just to your liking. I just butchered a 120 lbs of deer meat and I have never seen a vacuum sealer do this good of a job! My father owns a food saver and it crapped out on him after a week of the abuse that we usually put these things through.
I bought this item for the sole purpose of sealing in my garden vegetables, my venison(deer), beef that I get butchered, freshly caught fish and anything else that I would want preserved. I recommend using the rolls of bags as opposed to the precut bags as you have more control over the amount of storage space you get in a single bag. I have never seen this device seal a bag and not suck ALL of the air out of the bag.It takes a small amount of force to hold it closed until the hands free light comes on, any child over the age of 14 could operate this machine(honestly as hot as the sealing strip gets I wouldn't want a kid operating it anyway). I do not have any experience with the accessories as I don't use them, but, I cant recommend it enough, just have to be smarter than the machine is all...
